TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a woven fabric having a frill used for manufacture of a skirt having a frill, blouse having a frill and the like.

BACKGROUND ART

If a skirt having a frill, a blouse having a frill and the like are to be manufactured in the clothing field, end-portion processing and sewing of a frill are accomplished mostly by sewing using a sewing machine.

Conventionally, if a skirt having three tiers of frills is to be manufactured, for example, three frill cloths are made by cutting a desired fabric into a desired width and they are subjected to processing for preventing fraying at an end portion of each frill cloth. If the frill is to be gathered, an upper-end side portion of each frill cloth is sewn into a shorter length so as to equally gather each frill. Then, by sewing the three frill cloths in order from the lower tier to a skirt cloth fabricated separately from the frill, a skirt having a frill is completed (See Non-Patent Literature 1, for example).

SUMMARY OF INVENTION Technical Problem

However, the above-described prior-art technology has problems described below.

In the prior-art technology, a cutting work of a fabric for fabricating the above-described three frill cloths requires 4 processes. The processing methods for preventing fraying at end portions of the three frill cloths include a merrow lock stitch, three rolled, zigzag three rolled sewing and the like, and so the processing on both end portions of the three frill cloths requires 6 processes as a work. When the frill is gathered, the upper-end portion of each frill cloth is sewn shorter as described above, and processing is needed to be performed for three cloths, so that three processes of work are required. When the three frill cloths are sewn to the skirt cloth in the order from the lower tier, a procedure such that a position where the frill is to be sewn is marked with a line and the frill cloth is sewn by a lock-stitch sewing machine at the position of the marked line is used in order to make clean finishing, but this work needs 6 processes, and moreover, the sewn position is sewn inside by using a cover-stitch sewing machine in order to hide the sewn position of the frill cloth and a holding stitch is applied by the lock-stitch sewing machine, which makes 6 processes in total, is required.

As described above, with the prior-art technology, since the work of 25 processes at the minimum is required even for fabricating three tiers of frills and sewing them to the skirt cloth, the manufacture needs enormous time and labor and has a problem of a high manufacturing cost.

The present invention has an object to solve such problems.

Solution To Problem

In order to solve such problems, a woven fabric having a frill of the present invention is characterized by having a base cloth portion, a frill cloth portion in number of tiers required to have a overlapping relationship with this base cloth portion provided on a front side of the base cloth portion, a binding portion where the base cloth portion and one end of the frill cloth portion are bound by folded-weaving, and a connection portion fabricated only by a warp and provided so as to penetrate the base cloth portion from a tip end of the frill cloth portion on the side opposite to the binding portion and to connect to one end of the binding portion.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

According to the present invention, after the connection portion is cut and the tip end of the frill cloth portion is separated from the base cloth portion 1, a fine frill can be made easily only by applying work such as merrow lock stitch and the like for preventing fraying at the tip end thereof and thus, the frill can be completed only with ⅓ to ¼ of the conventional processes. Moreover, since the present invention does not require difficult sewing artifice requiring skills, a skirt or blouse having a fine frill and the like can be manufactured easily at a low cost advantageously.

The base cloth portion 1, the frill cloth portion 2, the binding portion 3, and the connection portion 4 are woven continuously and integrally by a Jacquard loom.

Here, the base cloth portion 1 is a cloth portion which becomes a base for a skirt, a blouse and the like, and the frill cloth portion 2 is a cloth portion which becomes a decoration frill, and this frill cloth portion 2 in number corresponding to tiers (frill cloths) required to have a overlapping relationship with the base cloth portion 1 is provided on the front side of the base cloth portion 1. The binding portion 3 is a portion where the base cloth portion 1 and the frill cloth portion 2 are folded and woven, and one end of the frill cloth portion 2 is bound to the base cloth portion 1 by this binding portion 3. Moreover, in the binding portion 3, a urethane yarn is used as a weft yarn having contractility. As this urethane yarn, a yarn stretched and solidified by glue is used, and after being woven as a weft yarn, the glue is washed off, and the binding portion 3 is contracted so that a gather 5 is created in a portion on the binding portion 3 side of the base cloth portion 1 and the frill cloth portion 2 at equal intervals.

FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the connection portion 4. The connection portion 4 is a portion created only by warps and is provided so as to penetrate the base cloth portion 1 from an end portion (hereinafter referred to as a tip end) on the side opposite to the binding portion 3 of the frill cloth portion 2 and to connect to one end of the binding portion 3. The connection portion 4 is also created such that looseness is given on the back side of the base cloth portion 1 and a cutting tool such as scissors can be inserted therein.

FIG. 4 is a side view of an essential part illustrating a process of completing a frill, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the essential part, in which the connection portion 4 of the woven fabric having a frill woven as above is cut by inserting a cutting tool such as scissors into the portion given looseness on the back side of the base cloth portion 1. After the cutting, by lifting up the frill cloth portion 2, the tip end of the frill cloth portion 2 is separated from the base cloth portion 1 as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 and then, by applying work such as merrow lock stitch or the like in order to prevent fraying at the tip end of the frill cloth portion 2, the frill is completed. The warp of the connection portion 4 remains on the binding portion 3 side, but since the binding portion 3 is firmly woven by folded-weaving, there is no concern that the binding portion 3 frays.

The woven fabric having a frill completed as above can be used for easily manufacturing a skirt having a frill by sewing and can be also used for manufacturing clothes such as a blouse having a frill on a body part or a sleeve by using this woven fabric having a frill and can be further used for manufacture of decorations, accessories and the like having frills.
